WHO: Hijikata Toshizou. Possibly also you.
WHAT: Looking for something very important.
WHERE: All around the main camp.
WARNING(S): Shitty haiku, if he ever finds it.



[Today in your main camp, there is a samurai.

On a mission.

No matter where you've chosen to hang out today, you've probably seen him at some point. Rummaging around in whatever boxes or stacks of supplies are out, checking the ground, talking to people just out of your earshot...it seems like he's looking for something.

And judging by the way he occasionally mutters something grumpy and possibly profane under his breath, he doesn't seem to be finding it.

What do?]

[Looking totally innocent here in case that was an accusation or something.]

What is missing, Hijikata-san?

[hakodate]

[He sees this innocent look and doesn't buy it for a second.]

My poetry book.

[sadistsword]

Awww, that's not nice at all. Why do you always suspect me first, Hijikata-san?

[Totally guilty, but raising his eyebrows as if he was terribly hurt.]

[hakodate]

It's not like you haven't pulled this shit before, Souji.

[sadistsword]

Why would I steal your book in a place like this?

[hakodate]

[because FUCK YOU THAT'S WHY]

Do you need a reason?

[sadistsword]

[Oh right, Hijikata's existence was enough to do something like that, yes, whatever world that was.]

Of course. Perhaps somebody found it and decided to publish it to the people of this world? Someone might be able to understand your haiku finally.

[hakodate]

[Yes. This world where they are currently surrounded by weird demon armies, giant snakes that are invulnerable to conventional weaponry, lava pools and other weird environmental hazards, and where that nice moon princess who shoots lasers keeps sending everyone back in time to fix things before the world ends.

Great place for a book debut.]

If anyone publishes it here, they've got some pretty screwed up priorities.

[sadistsword]

Why would you say that? Perhaps they want to ease the people's mind in a state of peril.

[hakodate]

Stop deflecting.

[Because he's sure noticed how Souji never actually answered the original question...]

[sadistsword]

Deflecting? What are you talking about?

[Still pretending to be totally innocent.]

[hakodate]

You never answered my question. Have you seen it?

[sadistsword]

Perhaps I have seen it. I don't remember it clearly.

[hakodate]

[BULLSHIT DETECTION SYSTEM IS BEEPING WILDLY.]

[sadistsword]

Why are you looking at me like that, Hijikata-san? Is there anything on my face?
